Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock

Another sunblock on my dressing table. Has Biore sunblock been beaten out of it’s champion place as my favourite sunblock? You will have to read further on to know the results!

I bought this in a whim. I was fascinated by the word, dry-touch. I hated sunblocks which leaves an oily greasy feel on the face or body. And in this kind of hot, humid weather, it’s a definite killer if it goes on oily and greasy.

This particular sunblock has a nice light scent, something that Biore lacks of. It’s texture is thick and creamy, but I find it’s a bit difficult to spread. Perhaps I am so used to the liquid consistency that Biore has. A little change doesn’t hurt right?

Biore UV Perfect Face Milk SPF50+ PA+++

My favourite sunblock of all times! Why is it my favourite? Because it’s packed with goodies!!

The sunblock itself, as stated on the bottle, has SPF50 and PA+++. For those who don’t know what is SPF and PA, you seriously need to get to know it now!

“All sunscreen labels list a sun protection factor (SPF). SPF is a measurement of how much protection the sunscreen offers from the UVB rays that cause sunburn. A few sunscreen labels also list a “PA” ranking, which refers to the amount of protection the sunscreen offers from the UVA rays that may cause long-term skin damage. PA rankings are listed as PA+, PA++ or PA+++. The more +’s, the more protection from UVA rays. For maximum protection from both UVA and UVB rays, choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen that contains avobenzone, oxybenzone, mexoryl, zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. Apply sunscreen liberally 30 minutes before going outdoors and reapply every two hours.”
